Lawrence Krauss� Monumental Blunder(s)

Truly a Bogey Moment

In tonight�s �What�s Behind It All? God, Science, and the Universe,� debate, the topic of protein evolution induced a long sequence of blunders. Lawrence Krauss attempted to compare a protein to a snowflake. If snowflakes spontaneously arise, then why not protein-coding genes? When Stephen Meyer called him on his absurdity, Krauss doubled down, making the ludicrous claim that there is �a lot of information� in a snowflake, and that Shannon�s information theorem �would tell you that.�

That is a monumental level of ignorance. This is a live debate, and speakers can misspeak and make mistakes. There�s nothing wrong with that. We all make mistakes, and people can take it back. But doubling down and reasserting a sheer absurdity is different. Krauss obviously really believes what he said.

If that was not enough, Krauss followed this with the equally absurd claim that the Sun�s energy fuels protein evolution. �Fortunately we have the Sun,� concluded the religiously-driven atheist.

Next Krauss made the age-old claim that �We�re coming very close to an origin of life solution.� This has been the standard line since Alexander Oparin predicted in 1924 that origin of life research would be solved �very, very soon.� Unfortunately, evolutionists do not reckon with the actual science. Their statements are driven by their dogma.

Finally Krauss made the oxymoronic statement that �neoDarwinism is an oxymoron�it doesn�t mean anything.� Krauss was literally flying from one absurdity to the next in his attempt to dodge the facts.

NeoDarwinism an oxymoron? By this time I was no longer surprised by anything the evolutionist said. If the origin of life is practically solved, if a snowflake�s information is comparable to that of a protein, if the Sun�s energy does it all, then hey, why not. NeoDarwinism must be an oxymoron.

This was truly a Bogey moment.
